TOO MUCH DANCING
The war has been carried on at a
terrific pace. Long range cannon, gas
bombs, and other instruments of des-
truction has been invented with great
rapidity. At Michigan, interest in the
war has been strong. Many of the
amusements and traditions have been
abandoned for the sake of Mars. One
tactivity, however, has held its own
place. This is dancing.
Organizations have been hindered
by apathy on the part of members
when starting new movements. The
excuse given is the war. No dance
proposed lacks earnest support. Some
powerful element in human nature
must be responsible for this popular-
ity.
Scoola Musick-Oh, girruls, when
we get our uniforms I shan't have
to spend any money for putts.
The chorus-Whoizzy?
S. M.-You're all wrong. I've got
two perfectly good music-rolls.
The Ann Arbor railroad seems to be
in some doubt as to whether its rails
will stand the excess strain to which
they are to be subjected in the near
future. A little test trip to Toledo is
to be put on tomorrow.

RSDAY, APRIL 4, 1918.
Historically the dance is as interest-
ing as any of our customs. From the
dance of the ancient Greek youths and
maidens given in honor of the divin-
ities of that tinie, to the more sensual
dance of the Hawaiians is a long step,
'but it brings out the fact that every'
nation has had somte form of dance.
These have all expressed some sym-
bol of religion or life. The greatest
criticism of the modern dance is that
it carries no symbol, has no meaning.
If the dance is thoughtless in itselA,
the conversation at the average dance
also tends to be flippant and shallow.
This dangerous tendency to allow
-the dance to take up too much time
was seen by the Board in Control of
Student affairs a year ago. They ab-
olished mid-week dances. But there
is still too much dancing at Michigan.
The men and women who devote their
spare time to dancing do little else.
They are the parasites of the Univer-
sity. They use all the advantages and
give nothing in return.
This year. a more serious attitude
prevails at the University. We are all
expected to give up something for the
privilege of remaining in school.
Many of our best men have gone to
the' front and have gladly sacrificed
their opportunities in order that the
younger generation may have a
chance to live under a democratic
government. It is not fair to these
men to persist in an activity which is
adding nothing to the betterment of
the state. A realization of our obli-
gation to these men should abate in
large measure the dancing craze
which still thrives at Michigan at the
expense of many worthy activities.
The sweetheart service flag idea is
reported to be spreading like wildfire,
particularly since it has become thor-
oughly understood that the rule, stat-
ing that one man cannot be the pre-
text for two flags, doesn't work both
ways. There seems to be no reason,
except her face, why a girl shouldn't
have a whole necklace of blue stars
superimposed on red hearts. The
Grouch-says that no doubt the dear
things will soon be carrying on their
own peculiar feminine transactions by
means of strings of them just like Lo
the poor Indian with his wampum.
And then think how gay Memorial
day will be with each house brightly
festooned in sweetheart flag draper-
ies! It must be great to be the girl
they left behind them.
Blood Will Tell
"On my mother's side I'm descend-
ed from kings," observed the trucul-
ent night editor. "The Stuarts."
"Well, I'm descended from Alfred
the Great," came back the maiden at
the womeni's typewriter. "He's older
and a better king."
"You both of you descended quite
a way," arbitrated the sarcastic wire-
tapper. "And anyway, my great-
grandfather was chief wriggler for
Queen Lil."

"Inquiries which are coming in
seem to indicate that the attendance
of the 1918 summer session will fully
equal that of last year," said Dean
Edward H. Kraus yesterday. "This
year, for the first time, the abridged
edition of the summer session bulletin
which has been spread broadcast
throughout the state, contained an
addressed card to be returned to the
University asking for further inform-
ation. It- has thus far given good re-
sults."
Dean Kraus has suggested that stu-
dents who go home for spring vaca-
tion secure the names and addresses
of persons who might want to attend
summer school, and mail them to the
summer session office.
"The summer session is open to any
person who thinks that he will be able
to do the work," explained Dean
Kraus. "It will help those who have
not finished high school to secure
credit toward graduation, or a person
who just graduated need not wait for
the opening of the fall semester to
matriculate. He may start his regu-

Prof. Willard Speaks to Chemists
Prof. H. H. Willard of the chemis-
try department, explained some of the
methods of chemical analysis which
have been recently developed in the
laboratory of the University before a
meeting yesterday afternoon, of the
Michigan branch of the American
Chemical society in the Chemistry
building.
